It saved my day. The issue I was having is you can only have the headset paired to one account, I had a feeling that was the case but this confirmed it for me after finallly finding the pairing code and entering it. Thank you sir!
Omg.. it worked. I tried deleting the mobile app couple of times and sign out and in. Nothing seems to work. I thought I have to factory reset my device. Thank you
So, I've done ALL OF THIS and it still won't pair with my phone. I even have the pairing code, is there ANY OTHER SOLUTIONS FOR THIS? Please and Thank you
I can't even get to the part where I'm in the headset I factory reseted it it does give me a code but when I connect it to the quest on the mobile app it never does anything to put in a code it just automatically connects and doesn't let me put in a code which makes it where I can't get past the part where it wants me to put in a code so even though I should be in the headset it's still waiting for a code that I can't send to the mobile app because it doesn't let me even though I know the code it won't let me put it in it just automatically connects it which again makes it where I can't get past the starting screen for the Oculus which means it's useless and I can't do anything no matter how many times I factory reset or anything I do I can't do anything with the headset I don't know why because I was able to connect to mine just fine I was trying to connect this one for my friend and I just can't do it
I spent like 40 minutes trying to reconnect my step-mom's headset and couldn't find the "About" in settings. Thanks for reminding me about the search function!
My problem is that Mine is stuck in the pairing screen where I have to enter the code and pair it through the app, but when I pair it, it pairs the headset fine as the app claims but I’m still completely stuck looking at the code still. Tried restarting the app, deleting and reinstalling the app, factory resetting again and still stuck on the pairing code screen, trying it with and without the charger cable connected, Bluetooth enabled/disabled. I’ve even deleted my account and created a new one to see if it’ll let me get past that code part, with no avail. I’m running out of options so I think my best bet is really to break the wallet for a new headset, it all started because my left controller wouldn’t pair, now my whole entire headset won’t pair since I tried factory resetting as a last resort. 🙄🤦♂️
@@3MREX Yeah eventually everything started working I was stuck because my controller wasn’t working I had to let my controller update that’s why I went through all this trouble because my controller kept blinking sos and wouldn’t pair.
ehi, thank you, it was very useful, btw... what is that Skyrim quest marker that i see on the shelf in the background and where did you buy it , i want it too :P
Cool, but my handsets are not working, that's what I wanted to fix in the first place so I can't use them to go anywhere in my headset but the code doesn't appear so I can't fix the handset problem.
Same problem had issues with connecting to my quest 2 and then factory reset go thru all the setup process then end up coming to the pairing code then says it cannot connect when it’s all good and connected and same wifi
What do you do when you know the code, the app says it found the headset, you put the code in but then it gets stuck in a loop asking for the code over and over and over? This is after a factory reset by the way
Try initiating casting from the phone to "wake up" the connection to the mobile device. Neat little trick that works sometimes. Other than that, contact support.
It says pairin code already in use. I've already had that pairing code before an for some reason it unpaired it self and I can cast or anything anymore
@@Zimtok5 Nope!! I.ve been trying 8 day's now!! And now they tell me they can't do anymore and would I like to purchase one of THEIR Refurbished one's for $150!!!!!!!
Didn’t work sadly I contacted support an they told me my device is faulty and that the problems on their end then suggested I pay for a new device 🤦🏼♀️
Hi there, When I enter the 5-digit code, the app says it's going to pair, but then gives me a error message that it didn't succeed Same after numerous attempts. Anyone here with any tips???
I've had that where it fails and never says it worked but then links after 10 mins anyway. This headset is pretty unpredictable, unfortunately. Lots of weird outcomes possible. Keep at it! Search Reddit, too.
this is exactly whats happening to me right now! its been on the pairing your quest 2 spinning circle for 10mins! already tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and power off everything still same problem! i hate the headset. I have psvr2 and it never has issues. also one thing i did find was my code wouldnt work because it was using my girlfriends account profile and said this code is used by another account. have fun switching accounts as well as it gives you the wrong link to switch accounts and you have to dig through the right link.
I need to pair my headset to my phone, but my meta quest pro controllers also aren't paired for some reason, and i'm stuck on the dang password screen, while it doesn't show me the dang code!
@@Zimtok5 so my account is on there headset but my app isn’t linked to, so I can’t cast or anything like that. I found this video hoping it could help but when the about section came up I could find it on mine.
I guarantee this is not clickbait. There are a lot of problems with Quest setup; so blaming those on people trying to help you solve yours is kind of biting the hand that feeds.
Getting stuck on the pairing screen is a completely different issue than what he is talking about He is showing you how to find the pairing code which a lot of people have a hard time doing in which he 100% absolutely just correctly explained problem getting stuck on the pairing screen, but that is a completely different issue than what he’s talking about
BRO YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!! A lot of videos online were telling me to go and factory reset my quest, but thanks to you, I skipped all of that!
Plenty of lazy advice out there, unfortunately.
I did that and i typed in the code and it kept saying try again
It saved my day. The issue I was having is you can only have the headset paired to one account, I had a feeling that was the case but this confirmed it for me after finallly finding the pairing code and entering it. Thank you sir!
You're welcome. These kinds of problems shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying their headset!
Thanks, had issues finding the pairing code. Now it's working.👍🏻
Very welcome! It frustrated me a lot.
Thank you so much! I couldn't get it to pair after they changed from the quest app to horizon and this saved me from going to drastic measures!
Very welcome 😁
I've spent hours on this. Thx
Omg.. it worked. I tried deleting the mobile app couple of times and sign out and in. Nothing seems to work. I thought I have to factory reset my device. Thank you
Thanks man, saved a day for sure! Hate meta, it's very unwise for them to overcomplicate this...
Your a life saver thank you I sat here for at least 30 min looking for it😂
Glad it helped! 😁
I cant even get to settings on my headset. My problem runs MUCH deeper than this
Same here 😭
Same here
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU I SPENT WEEKS ON THIS!!!!!!!!!
Then I'm glad you found this video! Time to buy yourself a new game to celebrate. You're free, again!
@@Zimtok5 it’s saying it’s already linked to an account my mom just spended 82 dollars on some controller I can’t connect
THANK YOU. That saved my year!!
Cool!
Thank you so much!
So, I've done ALL OF THIS and it still won't pair with my phone. I even have the pairing code, is there ANY OTHER SOLUTIONS FOR THIS?
Please and Thank you
Sometimes casting to the headset from a mobile magically breaks the loop.
OMG TYSM BRO, IT RANDOMLY UNPAIRED YOU A LIFE SAVER
Welcome!
Thank you so much man this really helped
Super!
OMFG BRO THANK U SO MUCH IVE BEEN TRYING FOR DAYS
Always happy to hear stories of breakthroughs. It's so frustrating!

Try contacting support for an RMA (return to base). Might be worth it even if you have to wait a bit (few weeks). Normally they organize fast.
Same happens with me
did u fix it
@@3MREX Yeah eventually everything started working I was stuck because my controller wasn’t working I had to let my controller update that’s why I went through all this trouble because my controller kept blinking sos and wouldn’t pair.
The code never said in the app
My oculas app is not sending my LOGIN verification code after it says that it was sent
Make sure it’s fully charged also turn Bluetooth on an off
dude thank you so much!
Legend! Thanks, mate - she's all good now :)
Great!
Here's my problem, it don't work. I don't know if it's because it's already paired to the app on another device or what.
ehi, thank you, it was very useful, btw... what is that Skyrim quest marker that i see on the shelf in the background and where did you buy it , i want it too :P
A friend of mine 3D printed a pair of those for me. He's a creator too - reach out on Twitter! DrOculus, real friendly chap. Tell him ZIM sent you.
Why does it say my VR is already paired to a device even though I haven’t even paired it to anything yet? How do I fix it?
I can’t access settings on my vr it’s stuck on a screen saying to get my account by 2 of august
thank you!!! you helped so much
Super! 😊
A Zim Tip.... Great stuff !
Hope it helps somebody!
thank you, it worked.

What if after you type the code in it still doesn’t work?

My paring code does not work
Question. If I have a different account on quest 2 and phone and I pair them will I lose my oculus account?
The accounts are cloud based, not hardware based. That should not be an issue. Check with Meta support if you want to be extra cautious.
Thank you so muchhhh😂😂😊😊
So glad it helped!
Oh my gosh thank you so much
It didn't work but it said That I just have to put it at one hundred percent so
Sad that this doesn’t work😢

You're very welcome! When I ran into this, man I was on my own.
Mine disconnectd from my phone, but I still get the vids, help meee
Did you try casting from phone to headset? Sometimes that wakes it up.
Ty
it dont work
Does this work for added secondary accounts?
I believe you can only link to a single Meta Quest mobile app.
Bro mine just says "pairing with quesr 2" forver and it dont stop
: (
Some people get into that loop. Sorry! Try the support team.
if by chance you haven't fixed it try reinstalling the meta app that fixed the pairing loop for me

@@skateorbri if you figure out how to fix it man, pls tell me, would very much appreciate it
@@redeaddevil8695 yes. Only fix was reboot factory reset of the whole headset. Start a new admin user and reinstall any apps I had.
